    As the title says! Just took BEC today. Taking a break for two days and wanted to see what words motivates you to keep the grind on and the lazy off.

    Mine are:

    1. At the beginning when I’m studying and struggling to understand some concepts:

    “To struggle some, is to progress some”

    2. When Im feeling like just sitting around after work or during the weekend going on reddit or something:

    “Your Dad said he would be surprised if I became more successful than him. The CPA is a one of the steps to prove him wrong”

    “No one ever got successful by just sitting around”

    3. When I’m studying and moral is starting to winder cause of fatigue or boredom:

    “Passing these exams will get you 5k, 5k = your new playstation 4, custom built computer and tennis gear”

    The phrases that got me through it all were these:

    “You can't do it.”

    “When are you going to just quit?”

    “You've failed too many times.”

    “You don't deserve it.”

    “You aren't good enough.”

    I had to turn the “hate” I was hearing into the “strength” to prove them wrong.

    The only way to fail is to quit!

    I think that reading through the forums helped me keep motivated. Just reading how others take the time to write an answer to questions was nice to see. I'm one of those who read the forums almost everyday but never post but I admire those who take the time to do it :0)

    “Don't try, do.”

    Simple words that I was told long before but was reminded of whenever I would say something like “I'm trying to…”
